Radio - 2+2=5

i'm not sure if this has been discussed before, so, in
favour of complaining about the lack of a 'search' feature,
i will assume that this has not been discussed before.

Radioheads track, 2+2=5 from the album Hail to the Theif is
a blatent forgery of the event in George Orwell's novel,
Nineteen Eighty-Four, in which the main character keeps
telling himself to remember that in reality 2+2=4. He does
this because he believes that if the government want to,
they can make him believe 2+2=5.

Thom Yorke you've been sprung, now give the name back
please.

have you thought that maybe the novel was inspiration for
the track, and that *gasp* the reference was INTENTIONAL

in some interview the interviewer asked if it was a
reference to 1984 and thom yorke just had a tantrum and
stormed off!!
he did the same thing in another interview when asked where
the name Hail to the Thief came from and again when the
interviewer asked what he's been listening to lately
